To solve the issue, you need to use the WaitForChild("instance name") method of Instance. What it does is it forces the thread to pause until the Instance with the name passed is found.

In this example it would be something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)

The reason you do this is that the character is always a child of the workspace and has the name of player.Name. So if your name is Yzuw81, the character is called Yzuw81.

I believe you want to do :WaitForChild("Humanoid") or the :WaitForChild function in general. It works by searching the child of the object you put before it and waiting for a child. Which sounds complicated but it's not really let me give you an example:

local object1 = workspace.Object
local object1Humanoid = object1:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
